More Bonds on Costas: What I meant was ...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Barry Bonds says his problem with Bob Costas has to do with his reporting, not the broadcaster’s height.
Bonds called Costas a “little midget man who knows (nothing) about baseball” following this week’s broadcast of HBO’s “Costas Now.”
“My reaction stemmed from my feelings about Costas’ statements during a broadcast,” Bonds said in a journal entry posted on his Web site. “The comment I made about him was off the cuff, and my problem with Costas is not with his height, but with his irresponsible journalism. If my choice of words offended anyone, that was not my
intent.”
Costas believes the San Francisco Giants star has used performance-enhancing drugs and said he viewed Bonds’ accomplishments as "inauthentic."
“I take great offense to those statements, especially coming from someone who is supposed to have journalistic integrity and not make blanket reckless accusations,” Bonds said in his journal entry.
